Make
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a low boil. Add eggs to boiling water and boil for exactly 7 minutes (this will yield cooked whites and runny yolks, so boil a minute less or more if you like your eggs cooked differently). Transfer eggs to a colander and run under cool tap water. Set aside until cool enough to peel.
- Meanwhile, heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of oil. When oil begins to shimmer, add chicken and saute until cooked through, ~5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and return wok to heat.
- To the hot wok, add oil and then white parts of green onions and bok choy stems. Saute until slightly softened, ~2 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and saute until fragrant, ~2 minutes. Add ginger miso dressing, stock and soy sauce. Cover and bring to a boil. Add bok choy leaves and reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Add chicken and noodles to soup and simmer just until chicken is heated through.
- Peel eggs (hold the eggs under cool running water to help remove the peel if needed) and slice in half. Season yolks with a pinch of salt.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with green parts of green onions and eggs. Squeeze lime wedges over soup just before serving. Enjoy!

A little annoying to find the miso dressing when you're pulling this one out of the archives! It would be great if you could add a link to it here or just include the ingredients.

Still looking for an amazing ramen recipe... this was much improved after I added hot sauce to my serving, but I’m looking for a recipe that is complex in flavor and doesn’t need the help of hot sauce.
0 Helpfuldelicious. I tried to make serving for 8 but my wok wasn't big enough to have room for the 8 cups of stock. I ended up using 6 cups of stock and 1 can of chickpeas instead. I served the noodle on the side. recommend cooking noodle to more softer side if doing that. try 13 minutes instead of 12. eggs were cooked for 8 minutes and were perfect for us - slightly gooey but not too much.
0 HelpfulThis was pretty good! I would have liked it to be a bit more flavourful, but I can work on that!
0 HelpfulThe chickpeas didn't taste out of wack with the rest of the dish, but the texture of barely-cooked beans was definitely not enjoyable. I think pureeing or blending them and adding that way might be a better solution. Also there's not nearly enough broth to this soup, so definitely make double if you want a more familiar ramen experience.
0 HelpfulCouldn't find straw mushrooms so used a bag of mixed frozen mushrooms. Overall enjoyed it (especially with the egg) but wish I had more of the sauce leftover from earlier in the week.
0 HelpfulThis was amazing. I totally forgot to add chicken but my vegetarian version was incredible
